J. E. McKey, S.J., was a Jesuit priest serving the Fort William First Nation community. In January 1958 the Times-Journal called him an "Indian missionary" when he celebrated the requiem mass for Bertha Cyrette at the Mission Road church.[1] In October 1979, as Rev. J. E. McKey SJ of St. Anne's Mission Church, he officiated at the funeral of her sister Priscilla Cyrette-Landry.[2]
The 1958 report gives "Rev. J. McKey, SJ" and the 1979 notice "Rev. J. E. McKey SJ"; both are treated as the same priest of the same mission.
